IMPROVEMENT lN OVERALLS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 222,921, dated December 23, 1879; application filed June 1.0, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Isrnon LOWENBERG, of the city and county of San Francisco, and State of California, have invented an Improve ment in Overalls; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to certain improvements in the manufacture of overalls, pants, and other similar garments; but it is especially adapted to overalls which are of coarse strong material, and adapted for outside wear.

It consists in the combination of a peculiarl yshaped waistband, either with or without reenforcing projections for the pocket-openings,

with a peculiarly-curved back-strap in two pieces, and cut independent of the waistband, the free ends of said strap being nearly or quitehorizontal, while the opposite ends curve upward and backward beneath the waistband, as is more fully described in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front View. View. Fig. 3 is a side view.

Let A represent the overalls or pants, and B the waistband, which I cut in a peculiar shape, so that it shall, while in one piece, perform more than one office in binding and strengthening the overalls. The overalls are provided with the usual front pockets, 0, and rear pockets, D, which are duly strengthened by cross-stitching a at the corners, as shown. The rear portion of the waistband is widened or extended down to a point at the hips, as shown at b, so as to cover the hip'seam and form a re-enforce to it. The extended por- Fig. 2 is a rear tions also cover one corner of both rear and front pockets. This extension I) is crossstitched at its end, so as to still further strengthen it, the hip seam, and corner .of

horizontal, the rear ends will curve upward and backward so as to pass beneath the waistband, where they are stitched, so that they not only assist in strengthening the back part of the overalls, where the strain of suspenders would fall, but they are doubly secured by the overlapping waistband.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The waistband B, formed with the broad dowilwardly-projecting side pieces, 0, and the pocket-reeniorcing strips 0?, in combination with the independent curved back-straps E, having their freeends meeting in a line, while their opposite ends pass upward and are stitched beneath the waistband, substantially as herein described.

. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
